People Who Have Changed the World

Steve Jobs died yesterday. He made his “ding” in the world (one of his quotes). It was interesting to watch Facebook posts and see the comments made about Steve Jobs whether they were in appreciation for his contribution to the digital world, prayers for his family, or people who had no idea who Steve Jobs was.

Who are the people who have changed the world? How?

Do we acknowledge their contribution or even know of their contribution?

Is history important to our understanding of life?

Who are the people who have changed your world? How?

Do we show appreciation to those who have altered our personal world?

What about the people who have changed our world in ways that may not be positive?

How do we process their contributions in our lives?

Can we look in the rearview mirror and acknowledge the growth in our lives beyond the hurt at a point in time?
